Everyone has pretty much gone now, Zeus and his sister, Maria left for Paris two days back and Rafa left for Madrid this morning, life is quiet again, i suppose...

that's why ive signed myself up for a bar and hospitality training at the RSA (royal society of arts), and you know what the best part is? they pay me for taking up the course, it does sound too good to be true, doesnt it? well, it's true... £6 an hour, from nine to five...i would hate to sit around at home and wait for my trip to start in two weeks...

due to some unforeseen circumstances, i might have to cancel my Moroccan trip of Marrakech and Casablanca, and head on to Germany earlier, but on the way back to England, ive added Prague (Czech republic) and Amsterdam (netherland) to my itinerary....

cant wait to speak some foreign languages soon...

Christmas comes early in London

Alright, first thing first, some updates...

my sushi days are officially over, spent some memorable time with my coworkers on my last day and i know how much they will miss me, as much as i'll miss them, hell, i miss them already...

but then again, when you gotta go, you gotta go...

i have purchased a one way ticket from London to Barcelona, flying on the 4th of September...that means i still have some coupla weeks in London to chill for a bit...and guess what, the ticket only costs me £0.01, unbelievable? you better believe it...(let's just go along the flow with me and pretend that there is no tax, fuel surcharges and a million other things...)

my tentative travel plan is as follow...

London - Barcelona (Spain) - Valencia (S) - Alicante (S) - Jaen (S) - Granada (S)- Cadif (S)- Casablanca (Morocco) - Faro (Portugal) - Madrid (S) - Munich (Germany) - Vienna (Austria) - Frankfurt (G) - Hannover (G) - Hildesheim (G)

my plan stops at Hildesheim where Chloe is staying and im not sure where to head from there...it all very much depends on my funds and if im good enough at budgeting and still have some money to spare after Oktoberfest, i'll be heading to Amsterdam to find Archie, my saviour in Australia...

will update more soon when i get the details...


****

Last week, we planned a surprise party for Jolanda (spain) who was leaving london for a SE Asian trip beginning from Vietnam and ending in Singapore...her initial plan was to skip Malaysia altogether, but i managed to persuade her that it is still worth visiting, at least go to Kuala Lumpur, i told her...

it was an Indian themed party and everyone dressed up as indian ladies...Yes, everyone, including the boys...it was my first time cross-dressing and it felt really weird, but the experience was worthwhile when we saw Jolanda's face...she burst into uproarious laughter when she saw us, walking out from the room one by one and performing indian dances...

we later walked down the street in our costume and passers-by were amazed and very much entertained by us, wooing and taking pictures with us and giving us the thumbs up...

and since i've stopped working, i had the time to bring my visiting German friends on a 3-day London tour, we went to all the obligatory tourist spots during the day and hit the popular bars at night...and as the girls are really into drinking (they are germans), we really spent most of our time in the bars...

Rafa from Spain will be visiting us today and will be crashing at our place for a week, and tomorrow i will be meeting Suya who is coming all the way from Devon to London to babysit her nephew...

Zeus's sister is arriving from Mexico on saturday, and yes, it will be fullhouse in our humble house and lotsa fun is expected...

pictures later...

Meal attempt #2


we probably had the best weekend last week since summer started, the sky was blue and temperature hit an all time high of 26 degrees, it was really hot! anybody and everybody who has a life were out in the sun, filling every inches of every parks with deck chairs and books and food, soaking in the sun for all they´re worth...

it was already late by the time we got to green park, half naked sun worshippers were already all over the place...so we took a stroll to the buckingham palace, hoping to catch the ´guard changing´ceremony...but alas, they only do it every other day and it so happened that we were on ´the other´day...

not to be downcasted, we walked to trafalgar square where we were supposed to meet Eduardo´s friends: a bunch of spanish students studying in Brighton and were on a one-day trip to London...

so we were basking in the sun while waiting for them to arrive, when Eduardo suddenly turned around, put on a solemn face and asked:´what are you gonna do when you meet the girls?´ I was like: ´what do you mean?´ by then he can no longer control his grin and asked:´are you gonna give them the two kisses or the hand shake?´

knowing very well that we dont embrace intimacy so much from our part of the world, the dude was having a good time picturing me in the embarrassing and awkward moment when he should introduce me to his friends; he then went on educating me that the hand shake should best be avoided if i do not want to offend anybody...

i didnt want to spoil the fun by telling him that ive traveled and have met people outside my country, i know very well when to give the kiss and when not to, thank you very much...

as it turned out, his concern was totally uncalled for, upon the exchanges of names, the girls simply reached out their arms, grabbed your back, pulled you closer and sticked their cheeks towards your lips for you to give them two pecks, you hardly have time to protest, not that i wanted to.. :p

it was really great meeting new friends, albeit for only few hours, we had the obligatory drinking session, chilled out for a bit, i listened to everyone babbling in spanish and everyone made an attempt to talk to me in their limited english words that they learned from school...

The same thing happened on Sunday - Me having a lotta Spanish exposure...we went to the latin music carnival at Burgess Park, in Elephant & Castle...it was a massive event, thousands of revellers having the time of their life, dancing to non-stop hispanic songs, enjoying the rides and food fair, and for the most part just lying down on terra firma and taking the infamous Spanish Siesta...

i met two of Fabian´s friends from Barcelona and Madrid, getting the contacts so that i have places to crash when im there later next month...

it´s gotten so comfortable that it´s a lil´hard to leave right now...

why am i such a confused and indecisive person?

hola mi amigo...

the sun is out again and everyone is pretty much getting the most out of it whenever they can...summer has finally arrived!

nothing much happened for the past few days except i feel that my days making sushi are numbered...it´s just time to move on...

will try to make some plans now and see how it goes...dun wanna procrastinate anymore...

till you hear from me again...

Pasta challenge


Friday night at Soho



Im so absolutely excited right now, just received an email from Petr and Carola (germans) that they will be visiting me in London in two weeks´time...this cant be any more thrilling, ive always wanted to meet up my travel friends from New Zealand and now it is finally happening! the girls have also invited me to Oktoberfest in Munich and i might just take them up for it...and coincidentally, Chloe will be in Germany too, so i can actually crash at her place and save up some money, this is just too good to be true...

Also, the spanish boys in my house have asked me to follow them back to Valencia come September, and im giving the proposal a serious thought right now, that means my travel plans will have to change, i was actually planning to be in south west England to stay with Suya at that time...

it´s good that things are finally happening for me...i always do believe that things happen in stages...before this, i was in the settling-down-and-getting-complacent stage, right now im in the planning stage, and it is the most exciting stage of all!

like i said, things are pretty much routine now, i go to work everyday, come back home every evening to chill with the folks till night falls and then i go to bed, the same thing will happen in the next day, and the following day until friday night where we´ll head down town to party...

last friday we went to a very good club in Soho and had such a fabulous time, the music were good and the people were cool, had a few drinks, spent some pounds, played on the slots and lost 10 pounds, it was all good fun...

On saturday, Shila asked me to accompany her to do some shopping in Richmond, and of course, i bought something for myself too...apparently the only difference between high street and designer is a mere 20 pounds! i was choosing between a Gap jeans and a CK jeans, the former at 20 pounds and the latter at 40, after massive reduction...so i guess the choice is pretty obvious, right?

with that said, im adamant to save up some money so that i can travel later, will really need to watch that spending a lil´bit, it´s just so easy to spend money here in London!

oh yeah, weather is absolutely shit these days, it´s flooding every where in England, so i guess it´s only rational if i leave this place pronto...

later...

A quickie meal

London


Now that i´ve moved to Acton, i get to borrow my housemates´laptop to access to the internet, but i´ll try to restrict myself to once-a-week online usage...

every friday evening, we have our TGIF drinking session at home, and yesterday, i had two sessions...my polish coworkers have asked me along to grab a few drinks and they dont take no for an answer...so when we got off work at 5, we hopped into the nearest liquor store, which is everywhere, got ourselves some beer, and headed to the park...

apparently everyone likes drinking at the park here, well, when the sun is shining...so we drank for a couple of hours, enjoying the sunlight and the cool breeze, talking about our carefree lives and the neverending travel tales, and all the if-onlys scenario...booze tend to make you think that life is good and anything is possible...

before we know it, it was getting cold, and everyone needed to piss, so we relieved ourselves at the supermarket and henry cant resist the urge to buy more booze while we´re at it...so he got us another box of beer and we headed back to his house for round two...

at ten, when everyone was really drunk and happy, i excused myself and told everyone that i really have to leave, as ive promised my housemates to join them at home...everyone protested of my departure but i managed to persuade them that there will be other times...

when i got back home, i had my round three of drinking, the spirit was high and everyone enjoyed themselves thoroughly...We all listened to spanish and japanese songs while savouring on sushis, paninis and dim sum, yeah, weird combination, i know...

i woke up this morning to a very dry throat and fixed myself some anti-hungover beverage of cocoa and milk...after that, i forced myself to do my weekly chores of laundry and groceries shopping...then i got fabian to accompany me to the local library to borrow some books...

it was a painless affair getting a membership at the library, it took us a mere 5 minutes and we got ourselves sorted out, with the help of the over-enthusiastic librarian who speaks multiple languages, it saved me lotsa time explaining to fabian of all the procedures that was involved, as the dude speaks minimal English, and between us, we required lotsa hand gesture and facial expressions to get the message through, but we´re getting better at the art of communication...

I can borrow up to 15 books at a time and it´s completely free! they dont take any deposits from us and trust that we will return the books when it´s dued, i can also make the books renewal online, how´s that? now im really utilising the tax that ive paid to the government...

once a week i allow myself to dine with style in the restaurants and pay tips to the waiters like a true gentleman...it feels really good leaving behind a 20 pounds note for a bill of 18 pounds, and to date, we´ve had Thai, Italian, Chinese, Indian, and lebanese cuisine...

was gonna go to the theatre for Les Miserables last weekend but everything was sold out, even other options like Lion King, Wicked, and Fame...you really needa book everything in advance here in London, there are just too many ppl here...

life´s all good though...

North Acton, London


this is just great, i've just moved out of Camden Town to North Acton like two days ago, and everything is settling down perfectly, just the way ive anticipated it...

right now im sharing room with Zeus, a mexican guy, and he, being a bad influence that he is, is really easy to hang around with...the first thing that we talked about when i moved into the room and have barely sat down was:' Hey listen, you wanna go to the bar with me later?' and then we just hit it off like that, they say drinking is the best way to get to know someone and aint it just so true?

My other housemates in this beautiful two-storey English house include a Korean girl, an English Girl, and two spanish dudes, and they are just how an ideal housemates should be...

Due to my age, i'm sorta like the big brother in the house now, with exception of Yun, the korean, everyone else is around 22, 23 y/o...but the thing is, i feel like they know more stuffs than i do, giving me advice on London and other European countries, where to go and where not to go...the spanish told me that ive just missed the run-with-the-bull insanity at Pamplona and ppl-throwing-tomatoes-at-each other festival in another city and urged that i really needa SEE IT...i guess im more keen on the latter as i really hate animal cruelty, on the contrary however, some PETA activists have decided to go NUDE to protest against the festival, now that's really something else that i can look forward to... :p

on the first night, Yun cooked us some Korean delicacies that involved shrimps, veges and beef, it was really good having home-cooked meals again after surviving on fast food, pasta, cous cous, and bread...then yesterday i tried some potato omelette thingy prepared by Ando and Fabian and it was scrumptious! Zeus also attempted to impress me with his Mexican beef tacos and while i love it, i miss the americanised Mexican food at TGIF and Chilies back home, cant help thinking of the nachos and fajitas...

it's just so shameful that i have no Malaysian food to reciprocate to all these displays of different cuisines, but i really cant cook! so to make up for it, i offered SUSHI to everyone, pretending to be a japanese instead, it worked, :p

So this would be the senario at dinner time, Yun, who works at Starbucks, would bring back coffee and muffins every evening, Zeus would bring back beef and meat from his restaurant while i'll be handing out sushi boxes, the spanish are still looking for jobs, so they joked that they should get a job at Tesco and bring back household supplies instead, now that sounds like a fine idea, dont u think?

yesternight Zeus (he's a self-proclaimed alcoholic) dragged me to the supermarket to get booze...just when i've promised myself to go easy on drinking and save some money for later, now im being arranged to sleep with this dude who HAS TO drink every freakin' night, i guess im just destined to have to spend that SIN money...to look on the bright side though, we bought two dozen calsberg for only £10, so it's less than 50 pence per can which means it's only rm3!

i'm telling you, the purchasing power is that good here, with £10 in your pocket you can walk away with loads of goods in the supermarket...Haagen Daaz ice cream selling for only £2 for a 500ml tub, and lotsa other good deals...i guess ive turned myself into some cheapskate shoppers looking for bargained products all the time, but what to do, im not really earning the big bucks here...

will probably stay here until at least end of next month as im really getting to like all the ppl that ive met...looking forward to chill out tomorrow at the free music festival...and i heard it's not gonna pour, so it should be a fine day out...

Freak storm


Money Money Money


Red Alert


A bowl of tomyamkung for 6pnds


It's getting pretty unnerving these days, what with the city going into red alert with all the threats and going-ons, everyone's feeling pretty touchy..

i escaped a tube derailment this morning where 800 tubers were stucked underground for 2 hours! i would have been caught as well should i get on a later train...

The met department has announced that there shall be no summer this year, with the only summer day being on 15th of July...it's been raining every freakin' day and im not enjoying it at all...There are lotsa activities taking place in town despite the shitty weather, and this weekend 'Le tour de France' is kickstarting in central london...i guess i will be witnessing it, to see what the hoohaa is about...

been looking for a place to move out too, cant crash at the girls' place forever, albeit it saves me some 100 pounds a week...but there is only so long that dossing is allowed, you know...i know i'm always welcomed to stay as long as i like, but im not gonna risk trespassing ppl's hospitality...

now that i have some income, i guess i should be planning for my next destination, will get myself sorted out for all the fantastic deals and travel as cheaply as possible...i still cant get used to the idea that im paying 90 pounds a week for tax...why should i be contributing to renovate the queen's palace? it's just pure absurdity...

anyway, im really looking forward to Harry Potter next week...the casts were at Leicester square for the premiere but i didnt join the screaming kids in the rain...im not THAT into it...

later...

Summer sale is on


Free sushi i bring home every day


Mamma Mia on stage


Fame on stage


Chicago on stage

The past week has been totally chaotic, what with Tony Blair stepped down and Gordon Brown come on stong with his new cabinet, things are really changing for me...i know im not a political person, ask me anything about it and chances are i'll merely give u a blank stare...but really, people are pretty enthusiastic bout it here...how nice to able to criticize your new PM on national television and newspaper? the freedom of speech here is a wonderful thing...

my information bout all the happening events come from the free newspapers from the tube station everyday, the vendor will shove one into your unsuspecting arm when you happen to walk by them, and if you miss them, there are papers everywhere in the train, and reading them has become my daily past time in the tube...it can get pretty boring underground...

so how do all these changes of political power affect me? for one thing, in conjunction with the new PM taking over the throne, some Al Qaeda freaks decided to share the lime light by planting a Merc full of explosives at Picaddily Circus...and yeah, they bloody suspended the tube line because of the scare, the entire area has been cordoned off...

I never knew my life is gonna be threatened here in London until another bomb scare hit me earlier on the Northern line, some 'suspicious' packages have been found in the tube and now the line has been closed for inspection...just when i needed to get home! and no, the weather hasnt been the finest lately, i ended up walking on the street under the rain to look for the appropriate bus stand...talk bout the worst day here in London...did i mention im having a bad toothache and migraine?

I've come to rely on the weather forecast here, albeit it is pretty predictable, if it is not cloudy and gray, it is pouring, so go figure...saying London has a bad weather has got to be an understatement of the year...

Furthermore, with the new PM now in place, some folks are taking the opportunity to come together and go on strike...yeah, that's a pretty common phenomenon here...what do you do if you're not happy with the government? yeah, make your voice heard! some hundreds of tube employees have come together to protest for a pay rise, along with the post service crews stopped delivering mails today to ask for a five-workday-a-week amendment...just when im waiting for my debit card to be delivered...so how am i not affected?

on a positive note however, London is going smoke free from tomorrow with the smokeban in place! what a relieve! imagine having no more puffing billy in the pubs and bars! yeah, and my working place too... :p

The summer sale is on and i went on my first shopping spree after three weeks here...Oxford street has gone completely mad, and i mean, the entire place is simply packed! Queueing up to pay is a real hassle, and i thought the Isetan presale in KL was bad...i got some really good stuff from Gap, Topman, and Von Dutch...at a very good price too.. so luvin' it...

oh yeah, i went to a free musical weekend at Leicester square last week, most of major West End musicals and plays have given up their matinee shows to come to showcase their talent here, for free!

guess that's all for now...more london post to come while im still here...

Yay, i found this internet cafe that charges an unbelievable price...you would never guess how cheap it is...it's even cheaper than KL!

so far, ive seen charges as expensive as £8 an hour, yeah, that's just plain daylight robbery, other places normally offer £1 for one hour's usage...

and my secret place? £1 for unlimited usage....wahahaha....no, i do have life here apart from hanging around internet cafe, just needa settle some errands online, that's all...

Working as a sushi maker aint the toughest job in the world, but it can take its toll on you...looking on the bright side however, i get to eat free sushi! an average sushi box here could cost you around £7, and a komachi set around £12, yeah, it aint no fastfood...

liquor, on the under hand, it's relatively affordable...one pint of beer at the bar cost around £3, but if you get it at tesco, think the same price for five cans...

it's summer so the drinking is on...lotsa music festivals are taking place and ppl are hanging out late...sunrise at 4am and set at 10pm ish...oh btw, today is the longest day in UK...

'Lord of the Rings, the musical', premieres yesterday at West End, apparently it's one of the most expensive West End productions, and it suffers some very bad reviews from critics...

I'm thinking of cathing a series of theatres while im here but it'll hafta wait till perhaps next month, just needa stock up the bank account first...

in the mean time, i'm interested to visit the places in London featured in the Monopoly board game, starting from Pall Mall and ending at Mayfair...of course, ive already been to Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square, Oxford street and the like and all the train stations in the map, but it'd be cool to walk down all that spots that inspired the game creator...

guess that's all for now...

The London Underground has gotta be one of the most complicated, busiest, oldest, dodgiest, and so on, in the world...

first time users might find it daunting at first, upon entering the tube you'll feel as though you're in a labyrinth, and im not kidding! one station could link up to four lines, imagine finding your way to the right one...

despite that, being the smartass that i am, i've got it all under control, the system is in my finger tips now...let's just say ive been using the tube like every single day since ive got here, and pretty much have covered most of the stations in every lines, zone 1 and zone 2...aint i the traveler?

but really, the underground is not a pleasant place to hang around...it is dim, stuffy, pulluted, HOT, and full of weird people, and i dont mean the 'underground performers', most of them are pretty talented really, just the other day there was this fiddler playing Vivaldi's, and it was so good that i actually stopped to listen to him play...

the government is currently undergoing some massive refurbishment to the underground and adding new lines in time for Olympic 2012, yeah, it's a huge thing here, the paper talks bout it every day, and the current debate is on the london2012 logo...apparently everyone hates it and are trying to get them to redesign...personally it wasnt very appealing, i dont get the message of the logo at all!

one thing i like about the transportation here is that it is so convenient, it gets you literally everywhere! and when the new high speed train is ready in august, i can be in scotland just in a blink of an eye...

the roads in central london are very narrow, nothing like the three lanes we have back home, but the side walk is just so wide! yeah, the londoners do like walking a great deal, and they have every reason to be...the congestion charge in downtown london is £8 per day, not too expensive in their standard, it's equivalent to rm 8 back home...would it deter you from using the car in KL if you have to fork out rm 8? i dont think so...

no, London is not my favourite place, and i'll say it again...there are lots to see and do, dont get me wrong, but it is really too crowded for my liking...walk down the street and chances are you'll see lotsa immigrants, everyone speaking in their own tongue...and yeah, the brits hate london, and most of them stay away from it if they can help it...

will let you guys know when i leave this place...

Meal prepared by Shila


Well, it's been a week now, and im still alive and well, that has to count for something, right?

Started working as a Sushi maker and earning national minimum wage, after tax i only get about £220 per week....cant complain really, at least i'll be able to support myself now...

yeah, i know ive been bitching bout london being overcrowded and all, but i really needa stick around and save some pounds first before i can move on...i hate to travel with the money i brought with me...

went to Hillsong Church on Sunday and it was a real blast! i truly did enjoy the service and felt God's presence...

was at Hyde park yesterday and we went looking for the glamourous people at Kensington, apparently you can always spot some celebs around...im considering moving to Notting Hill, they say being a waiter there can earn you hundreds of pounds a day! now that's really something...

weather's gloomy lately...

London Underground

Art galleries everywhere


Theatres everywhere
Chinatown


Malaysia Week


Trafalgar Square


Tower Bridge


Summer time


London Eye

London, Tottenham Court Road


Phew...this place is insane, and by that i mean the entire city is pretty generic, the roads, the buildings, the people...im not sure i like it...

arrived safely without any hiccups and immediately my travelers' instinct came to me (it's a gift... :p)...i quickly got myself an oyster card and hopped into the tube at Heathrow...i alighted the train here and went to consult the banking officer to set up a Barclay bank account...

Once i've settled my financial task, i went to collect my Simcard, just like that, im accessible to anyone in town with a UK phone number...

met up with Phenny and Furnny and we went sightseeing for a bit, they told me of all the major attractions and where all the theatres are located...

this place is like a wonderland for theatres freak, every other corner sits a theatre in what seems like just a normal building, nothing like the Theatre at esplanade, singapore...I was delighted to see Les Miserables playing at Queen's and some other favorites like Chicago, Evita, MammaMia, LionKing, Mary Poppins, you name it, they have it...

im not sure if i have all the funds yet to catch the shows and other attractions, everything is just so expensive here...we went for a drink at the bar and the cocktails are priced 6 pounds and above...

transportation is costly too, to get a weekly tube pass i needa pay £23...how can i not work? of course, the accommodation is a killer, cheapest room in a flat requires at least £100 a week...

weather is heavenly at this time of the year, it's supposed to be a hot summer but it's still kinda chilly for me at 18 degrees...

i will get some pictures up and running before long...needa get myself settled down first...im still contemplating whether i should leave london or not...

Oh yeah, it's Malaysia week in central london at the convent park, we witnessed some malay cultural dance there and savoured some malaysian food...they are selling teh tarik for £1.50 and satay at £1 per stick, aint that daylight robbery? it's just so funny traveling thousands of miles to see all the malaysian food here...

quite honestly, i miss home already....the people here are so distant from one another, havent met any backpackers yet, and i dont think i will staying in london, more than half the people here are foreigners...

missing everyone back home...

It's just so hard

to say goodbye...

First pit stop - London

It's getting too hard to ignore...

for the past few weeks ive been evading the idea of leaving the comfort of home and to embark on a journey to one of the most expensive countries in the world, especially so for us who's using RM, just think of your money being divided by seven, that's how poor you're gonna become...

eventhough living the life of a pauper is not something new for me (i havent been working for two months now, go figure...), i shudder to think of my plight in downtown London when im penniless and homeless...will i end up sleeping in the park? good thing it's summer now... :)

As of now i've yet to arrange any lodgings for myself, and i have no head or tail what's it gonna be when i arrive at Heathrow, i will be totally lost for sure...

Looking on the bright side however, this wont be the first time im doing this, experience is a valuable thing when it comes to traveling, i will have no problem pestering passers-by for directions and advice, and somehow i'll be able to make friends along the way to travel together, yeah, im charming that way... :)

It's about time i sent out emails to all my contacts in the UK, friends are crucial when you're in a foreign land, and i have no doubt they will put up with me under any circumstances...did i mention that everybody loves Marcus? lol.

This is the life that i've chosen, as envy as i could be seeing everyone around me earning the big bucks and driving nice cars and buying big houses, i know i have to do what im about to do, how many times in your life will you be able to live as a 25 y/o? once...

im not concern of my future undertakings, i mean, not yet...and i'm sure i'll manage it when it comes...havent i always been carefree? now that's the spirit...

So right now im just gonna put on a positive attitude to my rather bleak future and look forward to all the uncertainties and challenges ahead of me...

I'll make an effort to update my situation in this blog as frequent as possible, just to let you guys know that im still alive and well...start worrying if you havent heard from me for a while...

:p
